The Barberhop Choir arrived in Oliva just on time to get the lugagge out of the bus and meet the new host families. At the reception, Mabel Lenuzza, the Secretary of Culture, welcomed the group and thanked them for visiting Oliva.

After the formal introductions were made, each student was distributed to a host family and they all went home to rest and get ready for an exciting following day.

When the new day started, the activity for the Barbershop Boys was visiting the different high schools of the city and interact with the local students. Then, they went for a live interview at the TV station and after that went back to the host families for lunch.

In the afternoon, once again they visited a high school where all the students, from other schools as well, were invited to a preview of the choir's show. There, the boys experienced the warmth and admiration of the Argentine girls and some of them had to be rescued from the crowd.

That night the concert was held at the Cinema Theatre of Oliva which was filled to capacity. The local children's choir performed first and then the South African choir made the presentation. Once again, all the members of the audience were captivated and touched by their performance. After the show, the Secretary of Culture of the Municipality of Oliva invited the group to dinner at a local pub where they also danced and had a good last night there with the hosts.

The farewell the following morning was hard for everyone, and they all agreed that the next visit to Oliva should be longer.
